During their extraordinary public careers, the Roosevelts interacted with a “who’s who” of the 20th century. Signature Moments: Letters From the Famous, the Infamous, and Everyday Americans, a special exhibit at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY, opening June 28, 2025, provides an insider’s view of the remarkable–and sometimes surprising–variety of personal exchanges the Roosevelts had with an amazing array of famous (and a few infamous) people.

As a key part of the Roosevelt Library’s celebration of America250, the exhibit also features prize selections from FDR’s personal collection of historical documents of America’s Founders, including items signed by George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.

Portraits from a Presidency

"Portraits from a Presidency," the newest temporary exhibit at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, AR, offers a poignant reflection on the Clintons' lasting impact on American history. Going beyond officially-commissioned portraits, the featured works include a variety of creative forms—paintings, sculptures, engravings, and photography—that show how artists from every walk of life portrayed the Clinton family.

These unique works of presidential art will remain on exhibit through December 7, 2025. The Clinton Presidential Library is open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. CT, and Sunday, 1-5 p.m. CT.

From the Museum: Founding Fathers

The massive oil-on-canvas murals in the Rotunda of the National Archives Building were painted by artist Barry Faulkner in 1935. Faulkner created allegorical scenes depicting the writing and adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
